Sticky,
What I meant to ask was the night we raced. Were you running on 103 octane or regular 91?
Just 91.

We have the exact same setup...

Hey Peter,
After a few thoughts, I think it might be that you removed the resonator on the muffler. This might reduce back pressure to the point your car is losing mid and high-end power. Did Charlie made the same change to his muffler? There is really no reason that Charlie with the same setup is getting more power. Unless, C32s gets stronger as it aged? I wish :p

well, there is a known fact that different C32 puts down different number at the wheel. As large as 20 hp difference at the wheel ranging from 270 to 290

Hi,

last weekend I had a race vs a M3 and a volvo c40 (don´t ask me why the volvo joined). The M3 and my C 32 where dead even - noone was faster. I got a loss of traction and the M3 driver did a very good launch!

We never saw the volvo again

Regards

av2,

" EXACT SAME SETUP ".
My car has better dyno and track numbers compared to Charlie's car. Lets just say... Leave all the street racing to Charlie from now on

Hi Frank,
True on the fact that many C32s dynoed with different hp, but even the same car can turn up different numbers runing just a few minutes apart hence testing in different enviroments and on different machines. After racing with Peter and Charile's car when they were stock, we were dead even on every run. Just my observation.
